I remember an orange flavored softdrink in India back in the late seventies or early eighties called Rush. It was competing with the incumbent leader known as Gold Spot which I suspect was discontinued when Coke bought the brands...
Recently I happened on this film called 'Rush' and wanted to see it if nothing because it reminded me of some upstart trying to unseat an establishment.
The film did not disappoint in that sense. It is the story of Formula One racing rivals in the 70s. Niki Lauda was the Austrian upstart with no real background in racing going head to head with another wild character called James Hunt from England. The way he is heard saying his name is uncannily similar to how Bond used to introduce himself.
It is one of those inspiring movies about dedication and grit played out with enough zing to keep you interested to the end. I am not really one to understand the motivation of going in a loop at high speed to prove something to someone, especially to win money but hey everyone has a hobby.
Good camerawork and location shooting in Germany and parts of Europe makes it entertaining.
